The old man looked up and down happily at Li Boqing, "The boy has gained weight after living in a hospital. Look, he looks a lot stronger. It's good. This hospital is not in vain. I have to thank you sister-in-law. What have I bothered to do for you these days?"
have eaten."
"Of course thank you, sister-in-law, hehe!" Li Boqing nodded sheepishly and glanced at Feng Yanhong who got into the kitchen again.
After having lunch, Li Boqing went to the workshop to meet Xu Nan, Xu Zhenfeng and Zhu Jianwei.
When Xu Nan and Li Boqing met, they had a feeling of sympathy for each other. The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became. They talked from planned economy to reform and opening up, and from reform and opening up to market economy, the country's future economic development trend, etc.
Although there were many things Feng Yanhong didn't understand, she still listened with gusto. It was much simpler and easier to understand than listening to the news. There were some things in it that she could understand if she thought about it carefully.
The two of them sat in the yard, moving several times to follow the shade, and it wasn't until the sun went down that they finally ended the conversation.
"Let's talk next time."
"Okay, see you next time."
Um?
Aren't we here to discuss the plan? I didn't tell you the result.
"Bo Qing, about the plan..."
"Oh, Xu Nan wants to be the national general agent, I think you can consider it."
Feng Yanhong was stunned. When did she say it? Why didn't she hear it?
"First, neither you nor my brother have the ability to do management, let alone market. Even if you recruit urgently and get all the staff, you may not be able to build the product. If this is the case, then it is better to work with Xu Nan
cooperate."
"Secondly, Xu Nan has some economic acumen. Even if this thing doesn't become a household name, it can at least make you a steady profit."
"In this case, sister-in-law, just find a place to open a factory and pay close attention to quality and keep an eye on Xu Nan."
She agreed with what Li Boqing said. She had also thought about it herself since he explained to her the business terms she didn't understand last time.
If she now opens her own company and does sales, management will be the biggest problem. If management is not good, it is not certain whether the company will help her make money or lose money.
She observed during this period that Xu Nan was actually suitable for management and was also very good at sales. The previous incident had taught him a lesson, and the concept of prohibiting credit was consistent with hers.
She also felt that putting the sales company in Xu Nan's hands would not be as strong as her own experience.
After this matter was settled, Feng Yanhong started to get busy again. The office address chosen by Xu Nan was still in the building opposite. What she needed to do now was to expand production. This time she planned to choose the address directly in the suburbs.
She and Li Boshan traveled around the surrounding suburbs for two days before they found a spacious and bright factory with relatively convenient transportation.
This factory was originally used to make state-owned sauces. It was contracted a few years ago. After the factory director took over the contract, it closed down soon due to poor management.
Now there is a vacant factory building with complete infrastructure but lack of equipment.
The annual rent is only 10,000 yuan, and Feng Yanhong's snack bar's revenue in the past few months and chili sauce's income of nearly a month can just enough to afford the rent.
But she may not have enough money to purchase equipment, purchase raw materials, and recruit employees.
"Didn't Mom return three thousand to you? Have you used it?" Li Boshan felt really distressed when he saw her holding the account book and worrying, and he also hated that he was unable to help her solve these troubles now.
Sometimes he even wonders whether he is right or wrong to go to this university, and whether it is of any use.
Yanhong is now working hard outside alone, working hard every day, but he can only help her share a little bit of the burden on Saturdays and Sundays.
"That money hasn't been touched. I thought about leaving it to my family..." That money was given by my mother-in-law. The few hundred dollars I didn't withdraw from it when I opened the store last time have already been put in and saved.
I got up because I wanted to use it for emergencies at home.
"No, you use it for business first. Your family won't need much money. Besides, if you don't still have wages and royalties, your snack bar and workshop won't have revenue every day."
But even if you have the three thousand yuan, it may not be enough. Production line equipment is a huge expenditure.
If you can't order equipment, you can only use a large iron pot to make it. If that happens, the labor cost will definitely increase significantly.
Is she walking too fast...
"Huh? You haven't touched the salary and royalties I've given you in the past few months?"
He knew very well where the bankbook was at home, and when he dug it out, he found that the salary bankbook he had given her before contained several hundred yuan in it, and she had not touched it.
"If it's not enough, let's think of a solution together. Don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. I believe you."
"Okay, let's think of another way." In fact, she didn't know what else to do.
****
"Sister-in-law, don't you have enough money?"
It was definitely not enough. He had probably calculated that she had made a lot of money in the past few months, but it was only a little over ten thousand. To open a factory, it was not like opening a small store, which could be supported by a few thousand yuan.
Li Boqing's question stunned the couple. They had been busy looking for a factory for the past two days, but they didn't say anything about the lack of money.
"I have 20,000 yuan here. You can use it first and don't worry about paying it back." As he said this, Li Boqing took out an envelope with two piles of brand new money in it.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Others don't know, but Li Boshan knows best. Their parents gave them some pocket money, but that amount of money would not have been able to be saved even if he had saved it for more than ten years.
Since arriving in the capital, he has been recuperating at home. He has not gone out much, and it is even less possible to earn money.
"This kid left the things I left for him in advance. This is money obtained from others."
The second grandfather glanced at Li Boqing and spoke first before waiting for Li Boqing to explain.
Li Boshan wanted to say how he could ask for something from his second grandfather, but Boqing was also doing it for them. He had no position to criticize, so he opened his mouth and simply closed it again.
"It's nothing, it can be redeemed anyway." Li Boqing said with a smile, very relaxed.
The faces of Feng Yanhong and Li Boshan were very complicated.
"I've done the math and prepared for the worst. My sister-in-law still has a snack bar that can make a profit. I won't be able to get the money back."
"Just take it first! It's urgent."
Li Boqing thought up many excuses carefully, just to let them keep the money for emergency purposes.
"Then I have to borrow this money from you, so we'll take it first. Thank you, brother." It was Li Boshan who spoke first and took the envelope.
"You are my eldest brother and we are a family, so what are you doing outside?"
"If I'm really so open-minded, then do I have to pay for my sister-in-law's next meal?"
